Notes Stack for Freelancers & Consultants
Freelancers juggle multiple clients, deadlines, and platforms every day. Notes Stack sits in your browser side panel so you can keep client notes organized, track deliverables, and capture research — all without leaving the tools you're already using.
Why Freelancers Choose Notes Stack
When you're your own project manager, account manager, and executor, staying organized is everything. Notes Stack gives you a personal workspace that lives right next to your work.
- Client project stacks — Create a stack for each client or project. Every note, deliverable checklist, and research link is organized by engagement.
- Proposal research on the fly — While scoping a new project, capture requirements, competitor examples, and pricing references in the side panel. The notes attach to the pages you researched.
- Deliverable checklists — Use task lists to track project milestones: discovery call, wireframes, first draft, revisions, final delivery, invoice sent.
- Deadline reminders — Set reminders for client deadlines, follow-up emails, and invoice due dates. Browser notifications keep you on track across all your engagements.
Tips and Tricks
Create a dedicated stack for each client. Color-code them to visually distinguish between projects at a glance. When a project wraps, export the stack to CSV for your records.
During discovery calls, keep the side panel open on the client's website. Note down requirements, preferences, and constraints directly on their site. These page-attached notes become your project brief.
After sending an invoice, set a reminder for 7 days. If payment hasn't arrived, you'll get a browser notification to send a polite follow-up. No more lost revenue from forgotten invoices.
Filter notes by upwork.com or fiverr.com to see all your platform-specific proposals, client communications, and project notes in one view.
Keep hourly rates, client budgets, and payment terms locked behind a PIN. This protects sensitive financial details, especially when sharing your screen during client presentations.
Platforms That Work Great With Notes Stack
- Upwork — Keep proposal drafts and client notes attached to job postings and contract pages.
- Fiverr — Track order requirements and buyer communication notes right alongside your seller dashboard.

A Real-World Workflow
- Find a new project — Browse Upwork for a web design gig. Open Notes Stack and capture the client's requirements, budget range, and key phrases from the job post.
- Research and scope — Visit the client's current website and three competitor sites. On each page, note design strengths, weaknesses, and ideas for improvement.
- Write the proposal — Using your page-attached research notes, craft a tailored proposal that references specific observations from their site.
- Win the project — Create a "Client: Acme Corp" stack. Move your research notes in and add a deliverable checklist: wireframes, mockups, revisions, launch.
- Deliver and track — As you work, check off milestones. Set a reminder for the final delivery date.
- Invoice and close — After delivery, set a reminder for invoice follow-up. Export the project stack to CSV for your records and tax documentation.
From prospecting to invoicing, Notes Stack keeps your freelance business organized in the browser where you work.
